The synthesis of some pyrimidine derivatives was achieved by conden-sation of 2-hydroxyacetophenone and cinnamic acid as starting materials through 1,3-diketones as intermediates. The resulting diketones have been converted into substituted pyrimidines by reaction with urea, thiourea and guanidine in the presence of trace of triethylamine and pyridine in calculated quantity. The synthesized compounds were characterized by their physical properties, NMR and LC-mass spectroscopic studies and also screened for their anti-inflammatory activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
